1959 Very original Sprite. For Sale

If originality is what you are after then this is probably as close as it gets to the car that rolled out of the factory. A California car that appears to have been taken off the road in 1977 following minor rear end damage. Returned to the UK in 2012 and subjected to nut and bolt rebuild, 600 miles use since then. The paint on the underneath is the factory finish, the car is incredibly rust free. As much of the original car has been retained but obviously some items such as braking system, wiring harness and cockpit trim had to be replaced with new.
I understand that for some people the fact that the car is not an original UK registered car and has been converted from LHD to RHD is a negative point. However I very much doubt that any UK car would have survived in this condition.
Sensible offers will be considered, more photos available on request. (I have given Shropshire as the location, we are actually in Powys on the Shropshire border.)
